Hopefully this is tabloid fodder as the song is barly 2 days old and the daily star is written by monkeys high on coke. Radio 1 is irrelevant I agree with you but I am confident radio 2 will play it. Like you've said previously the song hasn't been officially shipped to radio yet so I think the radio bashing is premature in here currently.
Radio 2 did play it yesterday. Sara Cox played it and praised it apparently. Radio 2 playlist isn't announced until Saturday is it?

They've done everything perfectly this era so far. No push at radio must be the plan- perhaps to push the next single on 2nd May? Let's trust them and if they fuck it up we can whinge about it for years to come. Let's trust they have this in hand for now.

I know it seems bizarre to loose out on a full week no no reason I mean all the big numbers from yesterday and positive feedback could of easily happened on Friday eating into a full week.
But as you say oh well.
Yes Lorraine was on holiday again I think she's licking her wounds after her tax avoidance
. Yes it was positive indeed.
Ah the Shady Scottish Slut wasn't there. That's why Madonna got praise. Lorraine is a jealous cunt and is always calling her in her newspaper column.

Not one station has played it???

Ok I'm confused. Amazon has the deluxe 15 track as the guitar cover. I want the blonde one. Which one is that?

This seems to be getting praise from all areas. NME and Rolling Stone love it. Fans love it. Non fans are digging it.

Madonna’s Latin-pop ‘Medellín’ has left us gagging for the ‘Madame X’ era

The first taste of new music from Madonna's Madame X is a surprising, self-reflective gem of a pop song.
Madonna is back, bitches. It’s been four years since our lady released ‘Rebel Heart’ – her EDM influenced thirteenth record – and after a week or so of mysterious social media teasers trailing upcoming album ‘Madame X’, the first new music from the OG queen of pop is here.
“One, two, one, two, one two, cha cha cha”, a breathy Madonna whispers as she kicks off ‘Medellín’, and suddenly we’re in a sticky Colombian dance studio. The track is a duet with reggaeton megastar, Maluma, a 25-year-old who is yet to make major gains in the western music market, but trust me when I say that in South America, he is a Very Big Deal.
In this collaboration, we find Madge in a reflective mood
“I took a pill and had a dream/I went back to my seventeenth year,” she sings, “Allowed myself to be naïve/ to be someone I’ve never been”.
In the four years that have passed since ‘Rebel Heart’, Madonna has relocated to Lisbon, Portugal, the act of a “Soccer Mom” hoping to help her son David fulfil his dreams of becoming a professional footballer. In October, Madonna shared photos of herself immersed in the Lisboa music scene: “Inspiration for my new record started here in Lisbon in Tejo bar”, she said on Instagram of a small dive bar, a spot where locals watch live Fado music (RIP their low-key existence). All the signs were there that we could expect a Latin sound from M:14.
It was on a break from Portugal, in Marrakesh, that Madonna also celebrated her sixtieth birthday last summer. This, too, seems significant when delving into ‘Medellín’. Reflectiveness is an inevitable side-effect of growing older: what would Madonna’s life have been, should she have taken a different turn at 17? What if she approached the world with childlike naivety, rather than as the determined and fearless force we know, powered by the hurt by losing her mother at a young age. What if she ran away to Colombia?
In Maluma’s Spanish verse, he calls on “his queen” to take a trip with him to Medellín. “We can go to Detroit if you want/I know where you’re from,” he sings, reminding us again, that Madonna, the highest grossing solo artist of all time, was at one point just a kid in Detroit, dreaming of making it big.
The chorus, has hooky cha-cha beats, pausing for Madge to beg Maluma to “slow down, Papi” – a line fans will guzzle up with glee. Start working, meme-makers.
And the track is everything we want from a Madonna comeback: it’s fresh, (arguably her best work in years), it sets the tone for a brand new era and, if ‘Medellín’ is an indicator of what’s to come, it’ll be an exciting shift from the electro-pop bangers Madge has offered up in recent times.
Sure, this is not the first time we’ve heard her majesty dabble in the Spanish tongue – ‘La Isla Bonita’, being a classic example – but this is Madonna integrating herself into a musical genre that has real weight right now, pulling in an established artist from the Latin pop world to give it some gravitas.
From the teasers on social, we know Madame X is a chameleon, so who’s to say if this is a flavour for the album as a whole. She is described as a cha-cha instructor, a professor, a head of state, a housekeeper, an equestrian, a prisoner, as student, a teacher, a nun, a cabaret singer, a saint and a prostitute.
We’ve had our dance lesson. Now, what next?
Wow! They love it. And they don't tend to rate her. Queen of winning over the NME.

First listen I was like 'What is this shit?'
I've listened non stop now and it's magic. Understated and cool like Secret.
A million times better than any lead single since Hung Up.
Definitely a grower! And growers are the ones that smash. This is glorious.
Her voice is lovely and the lyrics are introspective and cool.

I thought the same...
can you imagine a deluxe edition with a tarot deck of all her personas
I think the #magic element of the rollout has yet to be revealed. I do think there's significance- I don't think she would troll by hashtagging it for a year
-
The single cover reminds me a little of a Tarot card

What do people think the lyrics mean? Yes it's hard to draw a conclusion from 2 lines but still...
"The thing that hurt the most is that I wasn't lost"
Maybe somebody sacrificing something for someone who actually doesn't need it???
I'd hazard a guess it's a line from I Don't Search, I find

Netflix exclusive here we come. That has to be the brand with all.those visuals
-
Mr Smith isn't lying. He's a person in the know from what I remember
-
It's I've that some are wildly optimistic for Madonna's chart potential in the US but there is zero chance she will have a number 1 single again. Album yes but not single
-
There's only 6 tracks

How are you seeing that? Mine is just showing the album covers
They're all different yet similar colours and theme. Very interesting visuals.
